Brief explanation to skill builds:

2. AfterShock Enhance your Fissure's damage is used correctly.

4. There shouldn't be any question on passing out Echo Slam.
Why Fissure???
Fissure is a vary good farming skill. Once you have got your arcane ring, you can virtually cast it on every creep wave and clear creeps fast. How do you do that?
1. Hit the creep which is not targetted by your own creeps.

Why Fissure???
Fissure is a vary good farming skill. Once you have got your arcane ring, you can virtually cast it on every creep wave and clear creeps fast. How do you do that?
1. Hit the creep which is not targetted by your own creeps.
2. when 2 enemy creeps are in yellow, cast your FISSURE.
3. This is the important part. The best scenario is to hit your FISSURE so that i kills the 2 yellow creeps, and hit the range creep, and also hit the enemy hero, thus harrasing them as well.
3. This is the important part. The best scenario is to hit your FISSURE so that i kills the 2 yellow creeps, and hit the range creep, and also hit the enemy hero, thus harrasing them as well.
4. Add another hit to the enemy range creep, and 'kaching'...... u've just earned yourself 3 creep kill in less than 5 sec.
5. Don't forget to refresh your Arcane ring whenever it is ready.
Why no Enchant Totem early ??? Why take AfterShock first ???
Enchant Totem is just for the extra stun. During your early stage, your enchant totem hardly deals any significant damage. Compare to AfterShock, which gives you extra damage beside the fact that it is a passive spell, i believe AfterShock is a better choice to go. You don't need the extra stun, as u already have a very good one (FISSURE).

Fissure + AfterShock, together with some clarity will help u farm better and faster on obtaining your MAIN items, which will be your Arcane Ring + Blink Dagger. Enhance totem won't be able to do that as effective as the formet mentioned.
C. Item Build
Recommended Item Build:
Starting items:
1 ring of regen + 2 clarity potion
1. Arcane Ring
2. Blink dagger
C. Item Build
Recommended Item Build:
Starting items:
1 ring of regen + 2 clarity potion
1. Arcane Ring
2. Blink dagger
Brief explanation to item builds:
1. Start off with a 2 clarity and a ring of regen. You can also substitute your ring of regen with some tangos/sapphire instead. It's up to you, but i would suggest to get at least 2 Clarity potion.
2. your 1st main important goal is to quickly farm up to an arcane RING. Once you have this item, you will have no problem farming up to a blink dagger if everything goes well.
3. Blink Dagger is the most important item for you. Without it, your efficientcy will drop from 100 -> 10. No doubt.
D1. Skill Analysis
1. How do you do your COMBO during Big Team clash / when u are trying to go for single/double/triple kill.
This is the part where you have fun.
You would need your Blink dagger for this.
You would need your Blink dagger for this.
a. Try to wait for the correct timing. Best if u could at least blink into a huge group of enemy creeps together with the hero.
b. Try to possition yourself so that u blink into and place where u can at least stun 2-3 enemy heroes.
c. Once u blink in, quickly press C(echo slam) -> E(enchant totem) -> F(fissure) -> Arcane Ring
Some people disagree that Echo slam should be cast first. Here's the reason why i cast Echo slam first.
You might get stunned / silenced / anything could happened after u blink in, and if u dun cast Echo slam first, and accident happened (and yes , they do happen, often), u might get killed, without even be able to unleash your ulti. That is really a bad thing. So, Echo Slam should be casted first.
The next thing to cast is Enchant Totem. why? Because, Enchant Totem gives you the extra time to think and see properly where and how u should cast your following spell to the best possible way, which is your FISSURE.

You blink in, cast Echo slam, then without 2nd thought, u press E (enchant totem). Between the time u press "E" and "F", this gives your more than enough time to see, evaluate, think, and aim properly where u should cast your FISSURE effectively so that the enemy heroes won't be able to retreat/ enemy allies won't be able to reach the stunned heroes to help, etc ...
D2. Walkthrough by game stages:
D2a. Early game:
Pick a side lane. If you can have a solo, it would be best. But if you couldn’t you can still live with it.
At level 5, you should have already got your Fissure level 3. Do the farming trick like i said, hit the healthy creep, when 2 creeps turn yellow, cast fissure so that it kills the 2 yellow creeps, hit the range creep, and hit the enemy heroes.
Consume your clarity potion.
Once you hit level 6, If there is a chance, walk up / from behind when a fresh group of creeps arrive. Cast your Echo Slam, then immediately cast fissure. Make sure the enemy hero is within your AfterShock range so that your Echo Slam will be able to stun him and deal extra damage.
Even if u won't be able to kill him, you would have gotten yourself all the creeps kill, and sent your enemy hero back. This would have bought you enough time to farm freely, and consume your last Clarity Potion. By the time he makes a come back, you should have gotten yourself your 1st important item, the Arcane ring (if u managed to kill him and get a 1st blood).
D2b. Mid game:
Mid game it your farming time, and ganking time.
You should have gotted your Arcane ring by now.
Farm hard on your lane.
D2c. Late game:
Your role right now is to be your team's INITIATOR. You are the one that starts the fight in a battle. You team depends on your action to start a fight. You have to read you enemy's mind, know when is the right time to blink right in the middle and unleash all your spells to create havoc to them. Once you've done that, you will have to take and tank all the damage for your team so that your team mates can do the rest of the job. Most probable, u will die.
E. Conclusion
Earth Shaker is very fun to use. Get use to hearing these phrases like "Double Kill" ..... "Triple Kill" ....... HOLY SHIT !!!!!!!
Comments and feedback are most welcome.

Remember the steps:-
- Hit creep
- Fissure creeps + range creep + Enemy hero
- Hit range creep (u will get 3 creep kill per creep wave, AT LEAST)
- Arcane
Keep repeating ......
Keep repeating ......
Once you've got your blink dagger, you can start help in ganks more effectively. You can also start go hunting and get kills more easily.

You say in your guide that late game ES should die for the team. WOW that is retarded. GET IntelliTreads, Refresher, Kelens,Shivas, And whatever items you need after that. Honestly why should ES ever attack EVER. Why get heart and tank when you could get refresher and just kill the bastards. Noob, forum is noob. THEY CANT KILL YOU WHEN THEYRE STUNNED........You are the cancer that's making TDA almost required.

RoxieDeath: Because u are a tanker. Radience causes damage to enemy, and thus draws fire from them. Furthermore, ur attackspeed aint that fast, battlefury doesn't seem to be that effective.
